First Cycle For Mass Gain, Simple & Effective
Hey everyone:
Here's what I am looking to do. Looking for your guidance. Yes, I have spent time researching for a while now, only recently spending way more time. I definitely don't know everything but I assume I am getting on the right track. I tried to make sure I had some legit structure before posting.
Age: 29
Height: 5'8.5
Weight: 190.5-191.5
Training Age: Serious training for about 6 years. A mix of BB, powerlifting, tried everything once. Run a gym full-time, so have full access and really looking to add some size, specifically to my upper body after years of training hard and serious in athletics / lifting for lower body.
In terms of timing, I believe I am in the right state of mind and have the lifestyle tools to make this work right now. And I really want it, and I've worked hard in the gym to get where I am but I am looking to hit the next level.
GOAL?
Really would like to get to #205 on this cycle if possible.
NUTRITION?
Right now, I eat super clean from high quality sources, organic, etc. I care about everything I put in my body.
Total calories are 3500-3800 depending on the day, which I know will have to be upped for this, willing to do 4500+.
High protein, moderate carb, higher fat is what I am on now, will likely have to up the carbs and drop some of the fat.
1.5 gallons of water a day, 5 grams fish oil, Amino's, etc, the usuals + 7-8.5 hours/sleep per day + afternoon nap for 20 minutes 4 days a week.
I'd like something SIMPLE for my first time.
Basically following the format of many of you say for the first time and what I've seen on this site:
Weeks 1-10: 500mg Testosterone Enanthate per week (2 injections of 250mg, Sunday Morning Wednesday night)
Weeks 1-4: 20mg of Dbol per day
Weeks 1-12: .5mg of Anastrozole Every other Day (EOD)
Weeks 4-12: 500iu's of HCG per week
PCT starts week 12, two weeks after last test shot
PCT
Weeks 1-4:
Clomid 100/100/50/50
Nolvadex 40/40/20/20
Aromasin 6.25mg EOD for the 1st 2 weeks
Thoughts / critiques / recommendations? Was wondering if I truly needed the HCG and looking for any guidance on the above.
Thank you.

THANKS, everyone. Appreciate it.
I totally agree on the carbs, I will up those significantly, there is no doubt.
I am getting blood work done this week for sure.
I can drop the Dbol as well, I saw a lot of people mention that was optional.
My biggest concern is nailing the PCT and being absolutely on point there. I'll take any feedback with that, I know some of you said it was fine, and others said it needs work.
AnonLower your fats and up the carbs. I keep carbs up around 1000 and fats at 50 a day. Carbs make u grow homie
I like hcg on cycle. 500 a week is included for me even on trt.
RustyhookerPct needs adjustments
AnonAre you referring to maybe lowering the nolva dose because of the use of aromasin in pct? Ive seen that before and havent found much info on it. I have my guesses to the reasoning but all they are is speculation so if you could elaborate I would greatly appreciate it sir
AnonDrop the dbol, first cycle is test only. Try to stretch it to 500mg/week for 12 weeks. Adex on hand if estro sides pop up, start with 0.25mg every 3 days if you need it. Get bloodwork around week 5 to see where your numbers are at in case you need to adjust anything.
I prefer to wait 3 weeks to start pct, if you look at the actual clearance time for test e (roid calc) it makes sense. I like a prop taper 3 weeks before pct now but you can worry about that later.
Pct looks fine, I dont feel hcg is necessary on this cycle, others may disagree, just my opinion.
^^This^^. Diet wil determine your outcome.
Jello over here nailed it. Follow his advice and you're golden.
Up your carb intake if you're looking to add some mass, pasta, breads, rice by the boatload, etc.
I second the skipping out on HCG. Did you get pre cycle bloods?
